Living in West Virginia, I definitely see enough snow through the winter, my previous car, 350z, was my daily driver throughout the year. I used Blizzacks for winter and they worked magnificantly. No traction problems whatsoever...although I did drive responsibly and took my time wherever I was going.

Side note: I did have the NISMO LSD installed and it helped tremendously I don't think I could have made it without the differential. So with the sports package and snow tires it shouldn't be a problem driving through winters in the 370z.

ummmm, im not sure if a 370z could make it up snowshoe.... I guess if it wasn't a bad snow day it could.

Yeah, I doubt it could make it to the base of the mountain much less the summit

As far as the rain, I just got caught in a downpour (damn it). Drove the car like it wasn't even raining. It did great.
